XBL Store Today: Call of Duty: Ghosts, World of Tanks Beta Weekend

Sadly, Microsoft has no plans to add anything to the Xbox Live Arcade today. But, two new “Games on Demand” may brighten your day.

The first needs no introduction. It’s Call of Duty: Ghosts ($59.99), arriving on the Xbox Live Store day-and-date with its retail release:

Outnumbered and outgunned, but not outmatched. Welcome to Call of Duty: Ghosts, an extraordinary step forward for one of the largest entertainment franchises of all-time. This new chapter in the Call of Duty franchise features a fresh dynamic where players are on the side of a crippled nation fighting not for freedom, or liberty, but simply to survive.

Also available today is the beta for World of Tanks: Xbox 360 Edition. The beta test, which is a free download, expands today to include the entire Xbox Live Gold community for the weekend:

AAA team-based online tank warfare comes to Xbox 360 with the custom built version of the global phenomenon dedicated to armored warfare in the mid-20th century. Command some of history’s most powerful tanks and experience intense combat where the excitement of battle is enhanced by working together with your tank platoon to win the fight, downloadable and free-to-play to Xbox Live Gold members.
